Today we learn that Israel is conducting a massive home front security drill in Haifa, northern Israel.
Dan Friedman often provides an acerbic take on what's happening within the Jewish community regarding Israel and Obama's foreign policy towards Israel and the Middle East.

Obama sends PM surprise invite to White House meeting next week
--Haaretz, 5/26
Smiles, photos, lox and bagels, in and out the front door. Expect Obama to treat Netanyahu "normally" this time - and for good reasons.
1) It's smart PR. Erase the memory of the earlier fiasco.
2) Abbas is due to visit in another few weeks. Wouldn't want those pesky ("right-wing") Jews drawing an invidious comparison. Election coming up.
3) Better to see you with my dear. Always more effective to deliver my ultimatums in person. Easier to stab Bibi in the back too.
4) Will play well back in Israel. Should get my approval rating over 9%. Bibi's Jews as clueless as my Jews.
